In order to do the comparison among some dictionaries (Oxford Dictionary, Webster Dictionary and WordReference), I have chosen the word 'learning':
- Webster Dictionary:
- WordReference:
Those have been the different results which I have obtained. I used to use WordReference but, now, I am disconcerted because I do not know which one I will use in the future. I think that each dictionary has its own advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, I think Oxford Dictionary is the least complet because it only offers the basic definition, the origin and the pronunciation. Although it offers the possibility of going to other section to see some synonyms, On the other hand, I think Webster Dictionary and WordReference have a lot of information from different fields and they are more complete than Oxford Dictionary.
Looking this word up in Learner's Dictionary this is what I have found (a concrete definition with a n easy and comprehensible vocabulary):
I think I would be good to take into account all these dictionaries when teaching English and to give each of them the properly use in each case according to the necessities.
See you in the next post!
